Skeletor Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wonder if he'd still have been sold had he been fully fit and we were in the bottom three Probably Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Liverpool have got him on the weights already, changed his diet to make him even stronger. Will be a force physically as long as he doesn't go to prison isn't it strange whenever a player joins a new club they always seem to have to do a load of extra training etc. it's never, "it was a much tougher regime at my previous club, here i come in hangover, piss about on the pitch in some five-a-sides, have some food then f*** off to the bookies" Almost exactly what happened to Jimmy Greaves at West Ham I believe. Halcyon days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The risk about Carroll is his injury proneness. History proves that tall strikers tends to have more injuries. If Carroll is also an injury-prone player (his record wasn't very good here already), he'll never fulfill his potential that worhts 35m. In addition to that, once the injury brings permanent obstacles to his aerial powerness, he's finished. In fact, if I am the manager, I would rather make his training schedule become lighter rather than heavier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregarding his first season at EPL, last year he missed out 6-8 league games due to injury (as far as I remember), this year he's out from mid December till mid February. To me it's enough to raise doubts. Probably not for others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think fast players tend to struggle with injuries more, especially hamstrings and pulls in leg muscles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Last season Carroll missed a couple of games through illness, three with a groin strain and went missing for a game or two when he was in trouble. Still featured in over 40 games. He's injured, he's not injury prone. If he is then so is the entire squad, with the exception of Coloccini, who is clearly indestructible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Duncan Ferguson was always injured. Crouch not so often. I do hope though that Carrolls injury record resembles Woodgates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm still laughing at how the scousers payed £35M for him. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player but he's probably worth around £17-18M. The laugh is wiped off my face though as i sit and think whether Ashley will put all that money back into the team...

Crumpy Gunt Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Or Dean Ashton's, preferably. But LFC wil cash in their policy and not be left out of pocket. Much better to have Carroll permacrocked making occasional comebacks thus cementing his £80k pw wage over the duration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus whether they'll be fully covered considering he was injured at the time of the medical is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
